The opening of Grand Theft Auto VI reservations has left a rather curious situation on social media. Over the past few hours, several users detected that Sony had published promotional messages associated with the game, highlighting that the experience was “better on PS5”. However, shortly after, these references began to disappear from various posts.

The situation has quickly caught the attention of the community, especially since it occurred just hours after Rockstar Games officially revealed the different editions of the game and their launch prices.

The modified posts have sparked debate among players

According to numerous users on platforms like X, Instagram, and YouTube, Sony appears to have removed or modified promotional messages accompanying GTA 6 content that included references to PS5 as the best platform to enjoy the game.

Although the company has not made any official statement about the reason for these changes, the decision has sparked all sorts of comments. Many players believe that the original message was difficult to justify, considering that Grand Theft Auto VI will arrive simultaneously on Xbox Series and PlayStation 5, with no exclusive advantages announced by Rockstar for either platform.

Reactions on social media have been swift. Some users have labeled the situation as “strange” or “unnecessary”, while others believe that Sony simply wanted to avoid controversial interpretations or direct comparisons between platforms.

For now, neither Rockstar Games nor Take-Two has referenced these changes in Sony’s communication. The only confirmed information is that Grand Theft Auto VI will arrive on November 19, 2026, and reservations are ready to begin, while the conversation around the game continues to generate headlines almost daily.
